GSL-SE Manual Steering (Temporarily)

Hi All,

My power steering pump has started to whine fairly loud and I want to eventually fix it. In the meantime, what are the steps to covert things to manual without having to remove everything?

Based on the other threads that I have read, you have to loop the lines and make sure to have fluid in the system. Since my pump doesn't leak, can I just remove the belt and keep driving?

Just want to make sure I am not missing anything.

Pretty sure thats how its done. Looping the lines keeps fluid in the box and also keeps out dirt and water.

It's even a local thread!

Looks to be right, loop the lines and don't leave any open ends.
